And now for something completely different... Well not that different, but trying a grey dress shirt for the first time in ages. Fitting look for the rainy day today in NYC.

Is that the Combat Gent summit line tie? How do you like it?

Nope, suit supply from the outlet two openings ago. Worth the $20 I paid for it.

Awesome look -- I may need a burgundy tie now haha.
Is that a Napoli? I think I may have the same suit. SuitSupply really knows how to do it, but have never tried their shirts. How do you find their shirts at retail? Decent value?

Thanks! Although the tie is rust, not burgundy. Looks great with either:



Suit is Lazio. I have tried Napoli a few times but the cut doesn't work for me (structured shoulder throws it off).

As for the shirts, I have a few from the Purple Line and think they are great for the money. High quality fabric and they wear extremely well. The 16.5L fits me almost perfect OTR, so I opted for SS over Ratio for that reason. That said, the Blue Line shirts were a bit disappointing- felt much cheaper and they wear down quicker over time.

I have the same jacket. Really like it. Very breezy for the scorching summer.

It's the hottest day we've had all summer in Dallas, supposed to get to like 107, I think. I definitely needed a breezy jacket!

Unfortunately I can't recall the model name. Just know they're gray suede double-monks. I got them on steep discount while walking through one of the brick-and-mortar stores a year or two ago. Total impulse buy but I love them.

Curses, all their dark options have white buttons now. Thanks for the tip, though. I'll keep an eye on them.

Wore this today for a creative conference being held at our office and I really like how it came together. Apologies for the photo - only full length mirror around was in the restroom.



Definitely not formal wear but working in a creative/casual office it seemed to strike a good balance.

Boy oh boy is the color thrown off in this pic. Pants look mid gray and shoes look brown!

Someone had that tie for sale and I almost picked it up. Whole fit looks good though.

I don't know how I would pair those pants. The color is tough and the blue polo may not have been the best choice but could work in person. Maybe it is the bright contrast of the belt? Good keeping the Dappered spirit though of <$100. I would had an issue with shoes if I tried that.

Yea the pants color is definitely the "wildest" pair of pants ive ever purchased. However, Joe actually paired it with a navy polo in the article: https://dappered.com/2016/07/the-und...t-still-sharp/

He went with a dark, solid belt, and white sneakers though, which changes the look a little.

I think your rendition looks just fine. A darker navy like in Joe's acts as a neutral for the outfit, which makes it a little less of a color on color pairing, which makes it more grounded and easier to wear.

I do something relatively similar w a navy polo and some mint/light green pants that I think looks sharp. Colored pants like this also go great with a white OCBD or other shirt.
